[ckan-dev] master and minified files

Mon Feb 25 09:29:22 UTC 2013

The release process says that we update the minified files on release
branches before a release, and these minified files then get merged back
into master:

It says nothing about core extensions but I would guess the paster
minify command in those instructions should be modified to include the
core extensions too.
